The plan, formally titled a
housing element
, is
required by the state and will become part of the city's general
plan, which outlines future land uses.

The housing element describes how the city could supply more
housing to people of various income levels, based on specific
numbers prescribed by a regional planning agency.

To meet its mandate,
Wildomar's plan
ensures the city can accommodate 1,471 more
dwellings in five income categories through 2014. The plan does not
require the homes to be built, however.

The council and commission approvals clear the way for the plan
to be submitted to the state's
Housing and Community Development
Department
for a 60-day review. At the end of the period, the
department will inform the city of any recommended changes.
